      Kindergarten Graduation will be held on Tuesday, May 24^th at 6:00 pm in the NS High School Auditorium.  Specific details about parking, seating, etc. will be sent home closer to the date. Due to limited seating, each Kindergarten student will be limited to 5 tickets.  **If a small child (non-school age) is going to sit on an adult’s lap, they will not need a ticket.  **Your Kindergarten child is not part of the count.  No one will be admitted to Graduation without a ticket.  Graduation tickets will be sent home Friday, May 20^th.  **If tickets are misplaced, we will not be able to replace them. 

In Math, we will continue with the Topic of Measurement, comparing objects by length, height, capacity, and weight.  Please review daily workmat pages! We will test next week as we finish up!

In Reading, we will begin a new story, This is the Way We Go to School, an informational fiction story. This story will complete our Unit on Going Places.  Our letters of the week will be Yy and Qq.

In the Thursday April 28^th edition of the Republican Herald, please watch for “A Child’s View” insert. Miss Hughes’s class picture will be in the newspaper along with your child’s answer to the question….When I grow up….

Miss Hughes will be back on Monday April 25^th!!! In honor of her return, our class held a Welcome Back Luau for Miss Hughes! I invited Miss Hughes to join us in the afternoon today.  We enjoyed trying some Vegetables (to celebrate our letter of the week V, Tropical (Huggies) drinks, and even had Flip flop themed nutter butters!!
